Am I Losing My Mind?

Yesterday, Esther was playing with marbles.  We lost some.

Then, we played cards.  Not a full deck.

I fell off of the rocking chair.

Just kidding.  But it's funny, right?

Hmm, what else is there to blog about???  Oh!  SPRING BREAK!

Tomorrow is the last day before spring break, because there are parent/teacher confrences on Friday.

I get to have a sleepover!  I am so excited!  I hope the weather will be nice.  Maybe we can go on a bike ride.  I haven't had one of those for awhile. 

E-X-C-I-T-E-D spells EXCITED!!!

FOOD

Okay, last night we had some friends over for dinner.

We had horseshoes!  Not the metal kind that go on a horse's foot, though.  Well, more like ponyshoes. Still.

A horseshoe (that you eat) is composed of a piece of toast, a hamburger patty, french fries, and CHEESE.  All piled on top of each other.  Oh my goodness.  A perfect pile of unhealthy yumminess.  With room for cake that Kelly made to squeeze in.

So, it turns out that horseshoes originated form Springfield!  My favorite place to get them (well, the only place I've had them besides last night) is at this restaurant called Darcy's.  Cheese heaven!

The School I Love

So it's Tuesday. 

On Monday it was my mom's birthday.  It was great.  Grandma Linny got to come down and visited and babysat while mom, dad, & some of their grownup friends went out to eat.  We got her some cooking utensils and I am struggling to knit her a scarf without giving up because I am tired of the sick green color I so poorly chose.  Grandma taught Abigail how to knit, too.  Yay.  Anyhoot, we had tiramisou (I doubt that's spelled correctly, the spell check is confusing!) and it was a great time.  Just for the record, I made the best birthday card in the history.  Happy birthday, momma!

So at school I had/HAVE a bunch of catching up to do.  Especially, well, everything.  In math there is a new POW (problem of the week)  and a bunch of jumbled up Pascal and Fibonacci.  The Declaration of Independence keeps poking it's way back into the curriculum.  And all of the writing assignments that have piled up.  Gee, I wish I could write this good in my homework journal!  I guess I'm better at blogging.  Maybe it's just cause I actually want to do this. 

And the Junior Achievement people came.  I seriously thought that they were just off of work (they're volunteers [I think]) because they have these uniforms that look like the scrubs that nurses wear.  Or maybe they were nurses.  Who knows?

Lobby Hobby

Lobby Hobby, no, that's not it.  Blobby Hobby?  Hobby Lobby.  That's it.  Okay, so we went to Hobby Lobby today.

I had $25ish and I got some yarn and knitting needles.  Hooray!  The other day I finished a scarf that I'm giving Abigail for her birthday and today I started one for my mom for her birthday.  I should of made hers first, though, because her birthday is on Monday and Abigail's is on the 13th.  I'll have to give it to her late. (Don't worry, dad, I already told her.  I think maybe I shouldn't of?  Oh man!) Well, I guess it's better late than not at all.  Bummer.

I really need to work on standing up straight.  Momma says I have the hump, the slouch, and the pooch.  Dang it, she's right!  Don't you ever get tired of being right, mom?  Bah humbug.  Oh, wait.  I can't say that, it's not Christmastime anymore.  So I guess it's just bah? 

I Miss School!

So I didn't go to school all week.  I really was sick.  Not as much these past few days, but my mom kept me home, rather for my own good.  I'm actually glad that she did, because otherwise I would probably already be sick again.  I miss school, but this is a lot of what I did, if not all, while I wasn't at school this week.

Monday-So I woke up and puked my guts out.  Then I went to the doctor who was very insensitive (I hate that!) and didn't even remember when we had called the day before.  It made my mom maaaaaaaaaad.  So for the rest of the day I slept.  And took a miserable shower.  And puked my guts out some more. 

Tuesday-I really don't remember.  That's weird.  I think I got my days mixed up.  But I do remember that I felt much better that day and my parents made fun of me because I slept for like 20 hours straight the day before.  Hee hee hee!

Wednesday-That day my mom was really feeling the cabin fever since we couldn't go anywhere because of the snow and ice, and when she gets like that, she moves furniture!  We had like a bedroom party and organized and threw away and moved shelves and I feel so much better about my organization now because me and Abigail's room was a mess!

Thursday-My dad was off and he and I played some MarioKart and it was fun.  Then he ran some errands and I played MarioKart and it was just fun.  This was kind of a more relax-y fun day.  We (mom, Esther, and I) went to Target because she needed diapers for Esther and I had some money that was burning a hole in my pocket.  $40 in Target gift cards, baby!  I bought some birthday gifts for Abigail (she was almost a Valentine baby), Valentines to give out at school, and some SillyBandz for myself.

Friday (today)-I organized some more while listening to the radio in my room.  Played with Esther all day.  She is so adorable!  The only thing is, she forgot how to sleep or something.  Not good.  She keeps waking everybody (my mom [poor mom {and Esther}]) up in the middle of the night and getting up early.  I also finished a scarf that I was knitting (my first real project) for Abigail for her upcoming birthday.  Shhhhhh!

That was my week.  Little bit of everything, but no sledding still.  Understandable but disappointing.
